uanimatedtexture5's Issues

UE 5.1 - Crash when opening Animated Texture - Won't build

LowLevelFatalError [File:D:\build++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Classes\Engine\Texture.h] [Line: 1435] Pure virtual not implemented (UTexture::GetTextureClass)

Made it work in 5.1 but compile issue at launch for UE 5.2.1

I used Electroball's branch solution and made it work in UE 5.1
777fb59

But I can't make it work in 5.2.
Any solutions or help would be really helpful @neil3d !

Thanks once again for a spectacular plugin!

Runtime Import?

Where Blueprint api for runtime import gif/webp?

GIFs/WebP textures don't actually emit light with Lumen

Hello!
So I opened your "UAnimatedTexture5-master" test project that you have provided in UE 5.0.2 and created a new empty level in there, (no light, pitch black), made a plane and a sphere, sphere sitting on top of the plane. Drag and drop any GIF/Webp from your project onto the sphere to create material, plug the texture into emissive and crank the value up. No matter how bright I make it, it doesn't actually light the scene.

With Lumen in UE5, emissive materials actually cast the shadow so if I replace your GIFs/WebP files with any random static jpg/png file in the same material, the sphere now actually lights up the plane meaning Lumen is working and Emissives are casting light otherwise, they just don't do it with animating GIF/Webp files in general.

If I am mistaken or missing something, please do let me know but if it doesn't work on your end as well, I am guessing its a bug. Hoping to hear from you regardless.

Thanks

Indy.

Cant compile with 5.1 c++ project

Runtime load !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

什么时候可以运行时加载啊！能不能重写一下DownloadImage

Runtime GIF and Image loading

Hi @neil3d

I recently added runtime GIF loading support to my plugin (RuntimeImageLoader). I hope you will support my development. Maybe update Readme of this plugin so that people can use the working plugin for 5.0-5.3 without any issues?

many thanks

many thanks

Official UE5 final build recompiling

Hey Neil!

Indy here, posting the same message that I sent on email in the hopes of getting your attention.
Me and Epic games were hoping if you could recompile the GIF Importer for the official UE5 build that was recently released. We really need your help with making the tool UE5 compatible. Please do kindly let me know if you end up seeing this message or my email.

Thanks!

Indy.
